Wu-Tang's RZA on Timberlands, "The Boots That Paved The Way"

Timberland boots became wildly popular during the '90s when they became the footwear of choice for the decade's hottest rappers, like Mobb Deep, DMX, and Wu-Tang Clan. RZA, one of Wu-Tang Clan's members, just sat down with GQ in preparation for the group's upcoming album A Better Tomorrow and said that it was his group that helped popularize Timbs:

"In my opinion, the trend first started in the very late '80s to
early '90s. I think one of the bands that really brought Timberland
boots to the forefront was Wu-Tang Clan. In all of our early videos,
whether it was Method Man, ODB, the RZA, the GZA, you see the Timberlands stomping."
